I want to see how Lofton handles the Ryan 3-4, before I give up on him.

Hey Mitch,
Why would you want to give up on Lofton? In my opinion, he along with Cam Jordan were one of the very few on D last season who didn't have the U-Haul packed and ready for vacation. Lofton will be fine... even more so with The Big Lebowski calling the shots in the 3-4.
